Today's OneWord: Lake

Dennis practically swan dove into the lake, and when he emerged, he was carrying a long-stemmed flower clenched between his teeth. We didn't know what to make of it. His hair shone like silver in the sparse morning light, and he clambered onto the rocky shore, dropping the plant and panting like a dog.

"Where the hell did you get that flower?"

Dennis grinned. "The mermaid gave it to me!"

His mother laughed. His father did not.
